Synopsis

This is a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the OVC FY 2026 Services for Victims of Crime. This opportunity supports the development, expansion, and strengthening of victim service programs for all victims of crime throughout the United States and its territories. OVC invites proposals for projects to provide direct services to all victims of crime, including child and youth victims; victims of elder abuse, fraud, and exploitation; and other types of crime victims. Victim services may include, but are not limited to, emergency assistance, case management, shelter and housing, medical and dental care, victim advocacy, transportation, childcare, legal services, and employment assistance. All services proposed under this program must directly address the needs of crime victims. OVC has dedicated funding streams and grant opportunities for services for victims of human trafficking. As such, human trafficking projects are not eligible for this funding opportunity.
